Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a main trigger substance for the development of septic shock and multiple organ failure. We showed by turbidity measurements that LPS inhibits microtubule formation in a pHβdependent manner. Inhibition was found to be not only due to sequestration of MAP2 by LPS, but also
HsEg5 is a human kinesin-related motor protein essential for the formation of a bipolar mitotic spindle. It interacts with the mitotic centrosomes in a phosphorylation-dependent manner. To investigate further the mechanisms involved in targetting HsEg5 to the spindle apparatus, we expressed various
